The Reluctant Romantics Box Set (The Fall, The Mind, The Heart)

“I know it is. I’m going to push myself so far inside of you this weekend that you’ll forget you ever had another lover.”

I’d forgotten last night, though I hadn’t bothered to tell him that, that no one had ever come close to him in the bedroom. I moaned in remembrance. I couldn’t help it. I knew his dirty talk was vulgar and some women would be offended by it, but I wasn’t. Just thinking about his perfect hair falling over my breasts as he gazed at me, pounded into me, was enough to make me do what he asked. I slid my hand down to the delicious soreness between my thighs.

“I am...wet.” My voice was barely a whisper.

“Don’t do anything about it. Rose, promise me you will let me take care of it.”

“How long until this weekend?” I threatened with a small smile.

“Two days, but I promise it’ll be worth the wait.”

“Two days, Grant. The clock is ticking.” I hung up with a smile on my face. He lived in Tennessee, and there was no way this could get in the way of my last semester of school.

This could be fun.

My phone rang on Friday night and I smiled as Grant’s name flashed across the screen.

“Where are you, beautiful?”

“Home. I just got out of the shower.”

“Are you alone?”

I smiled and stared at my naked reflection in the mirror. I had pampered myself with every product Jen owned. “Yes.”

“Perfect, let’s start right now. Go unlock your door then get into bed.”

“Grant, aren’t you going to at least take me to dinner?”

“I’ll take you anywhere you want. Just do it.” His voice was commanding yet hopeful, and my hesitation vanished.

I walked to my front door and unlocked it then scurried to my bedroom, still nude, and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Are you there?”

“Yes,” I answered nervously.

“Lie down and close your eyes.”

I heard my bedroom door open but kept my eyes closed as he’d asked me to. I heard his voice closing in on me.

“Oh, baby, fucking beautiful,” he rasped out in greeting. I heard the rustling and zip of clothes as I lay there, vulnerable, completely aroused, and expectant. “You are every dream I’ve ever had.” His first touch was a light kiss on my lips before he took my lobe between his teeth. His hands fisted in my hair and his mouth moved in a trail over my neck and then clamped down as he sucked my skin before gently biting. I was so close my whole body was trembling, and I cried out as he nipped at me. “Are you wet for me, Rose?”

“Grant, now. I need it now.”

I didn’t feel anything else until his tongue plunged deep inside of me while he simultaneously gripped underneath my thighs, pulling me to the edge of the bed. I gasped out in ecstasy as my body arched in surprise. He took my sex in his mouth, flicking his skilled tongue over it again and again until I came with a huge rush, screaming out to him, pulling his hair through my hands.

“So perfect.” He dipped his fingers into me and I began demanding him for the only thing that could cure my ache. “Keep them closed.”

His mouth latched onto me again, every inch of my sensitive flesh already on fire.

“I can’t take it,” I moaned as he relentlessly assaulted me with his mouth.

I could hear the smile on his lips as he replied, “Yes, you can. You can come. I feel it...right here.” I shook my head in disbelief again, shivering in delight, calling out to him. I opened my eyes and saw his gloriously naked body over mine, his eyes burning into me.

“Do you believe in love at first sight?” Without giving me a chance to answer, he took my mouth so tenderly I had no choice but to answer with my kiss.

“Please, Grant, take me.”
